counterpart John Kerry informed him that the USA declines to supply armed groups in
Syria referred to as “opposition” with anti-aircrafts missiles.

Syria with anti-aircrafts missiles during the US President Barrack Obama’s visit to the
Saudi Arabia, and Kerry stressed the US rejection of that.”

receive funds and they are waiting for big shipments of weapons, particularly
anti-aircrafts missiles, a sort of weapons the armed groups in the north desire.

Kerry is said to have confirmed to his Russian counterpart that a political solution
to the crisis in Syria is best.
